Sunday in Dumbo
Dogs, too, like to dress as hipsters
On my way to the Flea Market in Dumbo, I came across a little Halloween dog parade on the Promenade of Brooklyn Heights.
Costumed dogs parades are to Fashion what Outsider Art is to Art sold at Gagosian.

A poodle doesn't need a lot to look gorgeous
These nervous greyhounds remind me of young, timid Fashion editors
But outsiders are no less committed than professionals. They believe so much in their creations that they proudly walk next to their models instead of hiding backstage to only appear at the very end.

There were several photographers documenting the event, dangerously crouching at a pit bull jaw’s height. You might check for photos and a full report on Style dog com (skip this ad).

I then skated down to the Flea market. There was a beautiful autumn light, which made the vintage cars in the parking lot looked even more like Stephen Shores. If you can’t own a print, maybe you can drive an original.
I was in search of a vintage peacoat for the winter when I saw a great horse theater mask. It had a patient, melancholic expression, with a hint of craziness, just like a real horse.

I was contemplating the avant-garde productions in which the horse mask had been used 70 years ago, when I bumped into Maria Cornejo and Mark Borthwick. They have the free spirit, illuminated faces of real artists, and outshined everybody else around them with natural fantasy. Mark was carrying a small, carved dark wood canoe he has just bought. It seems just like the right accessory for his pictures, or music.

I dressed my cat up as a lobster a couple of years ago. He was not a fan.
Doggy styles!
Lovely drawings! I think the young,timid fashion editor dogs would look even better with a cigarette.
Oh, I do love it! I think you are my new favorite blog!
